I used to grind my teeth pretty bad, however I would only do it when I was awake. I started grinding my teeth after I slowed down on my chewing gum usage.

If you are typically shaving once every three days, with three passes, I would just switch to shaving every day with only one pass, with the grain.

Jeez!.....maybe I should try this one ( chuckle ). Regards, Gordon Yes Gordon, so would I.

The C&E West Indian Lime is pretty good too. As a matter of fact, I had 3 girls come up to me while at a party last weekend just to tell me that I smelled nice. :twisted:
